Hello all,
Does anyone have a good resource on designing o ring seals. Specifically I
am trying to size o ring groves and choose o ring materials and sizes. All
of the resources I find give rules of thumb like 20% compression on the o
ring or similar for specific brands. I'm trying to find a good resource
where I can learn what kind of surface finish I need, common design
practices, different materials for o-rings and advantages/disadvantages,
how large temperature variations should be accounted for ect. I am pretty
sure there is some textbook or nasa document with this stuff in it, but I
can't seem to find it. Thank you in advance.
